JOHN HARVARD AND VERITAS ADDED TO CRIMSON FLEET

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two new coaching launches, the "John Harvard" and the "Veritas" drew up at the float of the Newell boathouse yesterday afternoon, completing a trip which started two weeks ago when the two boats left Greenport, Long Island. They were delayed until yesterday at Monument Beach by the rough water conditions in Massachusetts Bay caused by the recent storms.

The "John Harvard" and "Veritas" are sister ships, 20 feet long, with a five foot beam, and costing $3600 each. They will be used for coaching on week days, the larger boats being reserved for following races in the Basin. The addition of these two Greenport boats brings the Harvard coaching feet to a total of eight launches.
